The dark night below,
Cement from above,
The angel of Death,
Roaming the city of Death City.

Hungry and cold,
The soul survivor,
Searching and waiting,
Waiting for the night to end.

Black cats hissing at the presence of unwelcome guests,
My fingers frozen and cracking,
Icicles hanging off the eyelashes of one,
Fog destroying the city.

This was the end,
The end of a city,
The survivor suffering painfully and slowly,
This was the end of...
Death City

My dad was a great person, maybe not to my mom but he always had a special place in my heart. I could never forget all the times we shared together and now that he's gone... I just want to dedicate this to him.
